How do you afford your Armma?

[LibertyMKiii]

I work in IT and do development and Admin work for a compliance software in the hospital/surgical center space.
Money is always tight because my wife likes her 3500 sq ft house.

I rarely have more than 2 RC cars. I always have some crazy ideas and love building one off custom things. Typically I sell my RC cars shortly after finishing them because I get so excited about the next build idea. I am hopeful selling carbon fiber speed run bodies helps fund more projects without having to sell off my hard work

I'm a construction safety specialist for a university. I used to work for a large contractor, but now I get to do almost the same job and keep my hours to 40 per week. Most of that money goes to pay for the house I live in and food for me, my wife, and our four kids.

My RCs and other hobbies are mostly paid for by money I make cutting my neighbor's lawn. Yes, I'm 37. No, it doesn't bother me at all to still be cutting lawns for cash. ?

Class A truck driver, I love driving the small cars (RCs) as much as the big stuff (18 wheelers).

2 guys I went to high school with bought themselves mowers/trailers and built a lawn cutting business right out of school, They got a large enough customer base and ended up selling the company for 3mil. There’s $$ in that grass.

No doubt! I used to do 5 lawns every weekend when I was a kid. Not a bad side hustle.

I'm frugal where I can be
I make/bring my coffee, breakfast and lunch to work every day. The three of those combined comes out to about $1.50 per day. We don't dine in at restaurants and only get takeout about once a month.
If only I could get my wife to quit her Starbucks habit....

I cut off my family's food supply, they sleep on the floor with a particle board overhead held up with bent hinge pins. They plan their showers based on the weather and use simple green as shampoo.

Love that!! held up by bent hinge pins!! lmfao Simple green for shampoo that's priceless

 

[GRC]

I afford it by not having a wife or kids. It would be really difficult otherwise, unless they were all into it also. Time spent is more of a hurdle than money.
